I am from California but currently live in Indiana; that might explain my interest in film. I believe that all films
are not created equal, and that not everyone is a film critic. Some people have a gift for understanding film and some people
don't. You decide which category I fall into, although I hope it is the former. I rate films by grading them, A-F (A obviously
the best, and so forth). I do this because I feel this method is more accurate at telling you how good a film is or isn't.
I grade films by quality, meaning how well it is made. I try to look at all aspects, directing, acting, musical composition,
etc., but each of these things might or might not be including in a review. And of course I take into account how much I
liked a film, although this is hardly what constitues most of a review or how I grade a film. I also assume that either you
have seen the film, or if you haven't don't mind mild spoilers. I try to not include spoilers in my reviews (I don't like
them; I feel that they take away from the first impression and experience of the film, which is crucial in adequate criticism)
but I can't guarantee that the reviews don't contain any spoilers. I apologize if this bothers you. My grading scale is
as follows:
A+--the best. Absolute perfection. A modern miracle. Don't miss. At all.
A--high quality
entertainment. Nearly perfect. It's got class and style.
A- --except for a few glitches, it's excellent.
B+--very
good, but there are flaws. But still worth something.
B--a decent film; quite entertaining. Worth a watch.
B-
--flawed but worthy; probably one I really like but have issues with (probably a film I love yet can't grade higher and refuse
to grade lower)
C+--not bad, but not good either.
C--average, in the middle.
C- --not a complete
waste of time....but close to it.
D+--not very good. Pretty pathetic
D--pretty bad. Why you should lose
faith in the film industry.
D- --waste of time. Nearly as low as dirt.
F--don't even think about it.
Not even if your life depended on it. Lower than dirt.
